Benefits of technology

[0008]Another object of the present invention is to provide a method to divide liposuction fat into aliquots which allow to overcome the mentioned drawbacks of the prior art in the ambit of a simple, rational, easy and effective to use as well as affordable solution.

Problems solved by technology

Currently, in such operations, the fat is used as soon as removed through the liposuction operation, because there is no way of effectively storing the fat in order to use it when needed, in subsequent times.
It results that, so far, these aesthetic / regenerative operations can be repeated over time only at the price of performing as many liposuction operations, which is not only extremely inefficient, but it is somehow also traumatic and invasive for the person who undergoes them.

Embodiment Construction

[0016]With particular reference to such FIGURES, globally indicated by reference numeral 1 is a system for dividing liposuction fat into aliquots.

[0017]The adipose material containing subcutaneous fat, which remains at the end of an operation of liposuction, is made available in suitable containers, which will hereinafter be referred to as taking containers 12.

[0018]In the case of using the so-called “water jet” liposuction method, such material also comprises an aqueous fluid which is substantially formed by the water used in this method, in the form of a pressurized jet, to detach the fat from the surrounding tissues, preparing it for aspiration.

[0019]The proposed system 1 comprises at least a transfer circuit 4, 10, 11 able to transfer sealed the adipose material, and also comprises syringe pump 2, 3, connected to said transfer circuit 4, 10, 11, and able to alternately take and contain sealed said adipose material from the taking container 12 and to transfer sealed said fat or s...

Abstract

A method to divide liposuction fat into aliquots for use and cryopreservation purposes, the method comprising:providing a taking container that contains adipose material removed by liposuction, the adipose material including fat and aqueous fluid;providing a plurality of cryopreservation containers;taking a quantity of the adipose material from the taking container, keeping the quantity of the adipose material isolated from an external environment; separating by gravity the fat from the aqueous fluid in the adipose material of the taken quantity; andtransferring the separated fat into one or more cryopreservation containers, to define isolated aliquots of fat.

Description

RELATED APPLICATIONS[0001]This application is a Continuation of U.S. patent application Ser. No. 14 / 909,467 filed on Feb. 2, 2016, which is a National Phase of PCT Patent Application No. PCT / IB2014 / 063632 having International filing date of Aug. 1, 2014, which claims the benefit of priority of Italian Patent Application No. MO2013A000228 filed on Aug. 2, 2013. The contents of the above applications are all incorporated by reference as if fully set forth herein in their entirety.FIELD AND BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0002]The present invention relates to a method to divide liposuction fat into aliquots for use and cryopreservation purposes.[0003]The fat removed by means of liposuction is known to be used in the ambit of surgical operations, e.g. for aesthetic and / or regenerative purposes. Currently, in such operations, the fat is used as soon as removed through the liposuction operation, because there is no way of effectively storing the fat in order to use it when needed, in subseque...
